ISIT, a European pioneer in data storage technology and a leading systems integrator in Europe has announced plans to expand into the Middle East, by opening its first office in Dubai. The company will provide mid-market businesses with enterprise class storage solutions through integrated technologies from leading storage companies. ISIT is also launching, for the first time in the region, new solutions for Storage as a Service (SaaS) and database archiving.

The decision comes as a result of incredible growth in the Middle East, coupled with increasing levels of complexity of business-generated data. This has created a demand for cost-effective storage solutions and technologies to manage this data efficiently. Medium sized businesses in the UAE tend to lack awareness of the risks faced if the right storage technology is not in place. They require innovative and cost effective enterprise class solutions to mitigate these risks.

According to Roelof Borggreve, Chairman, ISIT AE FZ – LLC,“Mid-market companies in the region have long been in need of solutions that can manage their data effectively. ISIT is the first to offer just that by offering the necessary technology and services that ensure high data availability for mid-market businesses in the Middle East.”

Business data is a strategic asset that needs to be stored, structured, secured and made easily accessible. ISIT are pioneers in data storage technologies and its innovative solutions provide fast and reliable access to data, tackling the main issues faced by businesses in the region.

ISIT will be introducing innovative solutions such as Storage as a Service (SaaS), Data Deduplication and Database Archiving. Storage as a Service (SaaS) includes a comprehensive suite of services to reduce the cost and information risk associated with compliance, litigation, data protection, disaster recovery and preservation. SaaS is particularly popular among medium-sized businesses in Europe and the United States.

“In view of the ongoing boom in the region, it was only a matter of time before local companies recognized the problems that can arise without a robust and reliable data storage solution. We are eager to satisfy the growing need in the market using our innovation and expertise, and look forward to a successful business endeavor in this region,” said Mahesh Vaidya, CEO, ISIT AE FZ – LLC.
